245(i) Alert from NumbersUSA

We just received word that the Bush Administration is pushing for a 245(i) amendment to the Visa Tracking bill, H.R. 3525 when the Senate resumes business on Monday.

One of the Nebraska Senators (Brownback or Hagel) is expected to sponsor the 245(i)extension amendment on behalf of the White House. A vote could be scheduled for Tuesday.

We suggest two actions in response to this bad news:

1. Call the White House switchboard (202) 456-1414. Tell the administration to stop pushing for the 245(i) amnesty in the Senate. (Many of you expressed difficulty in reaching a live person but please keep trying).

2. Call your Senators. Even if you called them in the last few days in support of the Visa Tracking bill. Please follow up and tell them to oppose any 245(i) amnesty amendment. Again, you will probably know about this proposed amendment before many staff members.

There is no chance of changing the minds of Hagel and Brownback so we don't suggest contacting them at this time unless you are their constituent.

Thank you for your assistance in this latest amnesty attempt by the administration. We'll send you a more detailed update over the weekend.

Thanks for the ping. Now over to your other post.

He is determined to open those borders isn't he?

I will act...

It strikes me that the release of the original article posted here was a deliberate attempt to lie to those who object to this amnesty. (I'm referring to the writing of the article, not the posting of it, since the poster had no way of knowing that it was a lie.)

Bump!

WHAT NERVE!!!!! Is GWB trying to lose the next election??? Maintaining our national integrity comes first...there is no protection for our other values if we don't define who is a citizen and stop accepting new residents until people who are already here legally have learned English, acclimated to our culture, and developed job skills and a work ethic. If they can't or won't do that, they can leave. We don't need the cheap labor. We don't need more people. (May I be crude?...We don't need this globalist wet dream!)

It seems to me that the GWB team is getting cute with the terrorism issue...using it to meet one of their goals which is counterproductive to the stated goal of fighting terrorism. Any more of this (ie: Kennedy opposing this vile legislation while the administration tries to sneak it by), and I'm putting a TED KENNEDY sign in my front yard!

When is Brownback's term up?
He needs the same sort of attention that Spencer Abraham (R-Mass Immigration) received.
